Winter officially came and left in the third episode of the last season of Game of Thrones, and that can only mean one thing: summer is a’ comin’. Like all men (who also must die), you’ll be needing some footwear to accompany the rising heat level.

In partnership with HBO, cult-favorite sandal makers Havaianas released three Game of Thrones sandals that offer the breathability you need and the fandom-flex you desire whether you’re at home on a Sunday watching the newest episode, attending a backyard cookout with your GoT buds, lounging by the pool, or building sand castles with your kids.

The first pair of Havaianas were worn in 1962, designed after the traditional Japanese sandal known as the Zori, whose soles are made of rice straw. Although Brazilian-based Havaianas constructs its soles from rubber, the sandals feature a cushioned footbed on that wears a textured rice pattern reminiscent of the typical Zori flip flop. The Game of Thrones sandals follow the trend.

Each pair, offered in sizes 8-13 in U.S. men’s sizing, features mismatched patterns with a Game of Thrones-themed print, the signature rice pattern, and a durable y-shaped strap. The Havaianas Game of Thrones sandals are now available online for just $26, which is nothing to non-kneelers like us.

The first style in the Games of Thrones sandals collection features a black rubber sole base with the most obvious mismatched print where one shoe donning “Fire and Blood” with the Targaryen three-headed dragon sigil contrasts with the other “Winter is Coming” with the Stark direwolf version. Now you can pick your side (or foot) and wear these flip flops while awaiting the ultimate victor in the game of thrones.

The Sand Gray version also sports a mismatched print, but this one is even more intriguing. These flip flops feature a full map of the Seven Kingdoms, detailing everything from The Wall and Winterfell up North to the Southern Westeros cities of King’s Landing and Dragonstone to and across the sea to Essos, among other notable locations in the series.

Lastly, a gray pair of Game of Thrones flip flops features the Iron Throne and the show’s widely-known logo juxtaposed with a white Y-shaped strap. Classic.

Considering there are only three episodes left in the series and, at this rate, it seems we’ll never receive the last two novels from George R.R. Martin, if you want to jump on the hype train … now is the time.

Citizen teams with Marvel for Fantastic Four-inspired super titanium Zenshin
Citizen's marvel zenshin features super titanium and fantastic four inspiration
Citizen's Marvel watch

Citizen teams up with Marvel Studios for the limited edition Zenshin watch, inspired by "The Fantastic Four – First Steps." This release highlights Citizen’s expertise with Super Titanium, coming 55 years after the brand revolutionized watchmaking with the X-8 Chronometer, the first solid titanium watch. Only 1,100 pieces are available, each priced at $495. The design captures the spirit of Marvel’s First Family, blending 1960s influences with modern features.
The collaboration is rooted in the idea that superheroes can’t afford to be late—reliable timekeeping is essential gear. Citizen’s partnership with Marvel Studios is more than just branding; it’s a genuine connection that honors both watchmaking heritage and cinematic storytelling.
Super Titanium makes the Zenshin five times harder and 40 percent lighter than steel, though it remains a challenging material to work with. Citizen’s decades of titanium expertise, recently showcased in exhibitions, allow for a sophisticated use of this metal that few brands can match.
The deep blue dial features subtle references to each Fantastic Four member: Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing are marked at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. A luminous 4 o’clock marker pays tribute to the team’s iconic number and enhances legibility during action.
Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology eliminates the need for battery changes, drawing power from any light source. This aligns with the superhero theme of limitless energy and environmental responsibility, ensuring reliable performance for any mission.
The collector’s package includes a premium display box, a double-sided coin, and a numbered card, making it more than just a watch. The Zenshin is available at citizenwatch.com, appealing to both Marvel fans and collectors seeking high-end titanium craftsmanship.
This partnership demonstrates how entertainment brands can showcase advanced watchmaking, honoring movie history through thoughtful design rather than simple co-branding. The launch coincides with rising excitement for the upcoming Fantastic Four film, cementing the Zenshin’s place in both pop culture and horological history.
At $495, the Zenshin makes Super Titanium accessible to more people, staying true to Citizen’s commitment to innovation and quality.

Citizen launches ATTESA blue universe collection with duratect dlc blue coating
Citizen's ATTESA blue universe collection features innovative surface hardening
Citizen ATTESA blye

Citizen adds two special Blue Universe models to its ATTESA collection. The watches feature a dark blue coating on their bezels and the center links of their bracelets, achieved through an advanced surface hardening method inspired by the colors of the stars. One model is priced at $1,080 and the other at $2,437.
The deep blue color is created using thin film interference, similar to the effect seen on soap bubbles. This coating is not only visually striking but also highly durable, measuring 1,000-1,400HV on the Vickers scale—much harder than standard stainless steel, which is around 200HV. Advanced titanium processing creates a clear contrast between the brushed octagonal bezel and the smooth case lines, with the case and bracelet connecting seamlessly for a clean, professional look.
Both models have black dials with sparkling specks that mimic stars in a quiet night sky. Simple silver-colored hour markers and hands ensure easy readability while maintaining the collection’s celestial theme.

The CC4106-74E, priced at $2,437, is limited to 2,000 pieces and features the F950 caliber with Satellite Wave GPS. This movement maintains an accuracy of ±5 seconds per month without a signal and offers a five-year power reserve on a full charge. Additional features include world time, a 1/20 second stopwatch (up to 24 hours), light level indication, power reserve display, and a perpetual calendar running to 2100.
